摘要

Although mobile applications have been widely used, there is limited research on the acceptance of mobile-based applications for language learning among foreign learners. Hence, we propose an extended version of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) that analyzes the key aspects affecting the acceptance of the mobile application by foreign learners. The extended TAM includes external constructs such as augmented reality (AR), content quality, design quality, and interactivity to consider both system and individual levels. Eighty international students from various countries studying Malay were given a TAM questionnaire online. Results revealed positive effects, and notably, the external constructs of AR, content quality, and interactivity are prerequisite factors in extending the TAM. The findings revealed that interactivity is the most significant external construct of Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), followed by Perceived Usefulness (PU), which exhibits a significant contribution to the user’s attitude. Therefore, these results could guide how educator and higher education centers should approach the incorporation of these technologies in classrooms.
